they think somehow this woman was walking on the freeway. someone hit aerohen sped off. >> we have no information right now. if anyone saw anything, please call highway patrol. >> some of the drivers who stopped to help had to be comforted by the chp because they were traumatized by the scene. they have little to go on. no leads. no one seemed to have witnessed this. they would really like any information. they are calling people to call 1-800-tell chp. it's too early to tell who this person is. we were wondering if it was somebody homeless. but again too early to tell. as far as an estimated time when they would open the lane they thought it would be open now. but since they have to call cal tran it could be a little bit longer.

reporting live from san jose janine de la vega. we are learning more about the death of a san jose teenager who was hit and killed by a train this week. he was walking home from school along the tracks near virginia street when he was killed. investigators have now determined that he was wearing head phones and listening to music as that train approached. donae was a junior at lincoln high school. your time is 5:34. reports of an attack on a crowded muni bus in san francisco. police say it happened at mission street. ktvu claudine wong is right there with more on the man that police say punched a teenage girl and her mother. claudine. >> reporter: good morning, dave. this is mission where there are two muni bus stops. this morning this is where the focus is. this is apparently where the attacker got on the bus pushed and strangled and robbed a woman and her teenage daughter. the search for that suspect still under way. now according to the examiner

this all happened last weekend on the 14 mission bus and about 7:30 at night. the mother and 15-year-old daughter were apparently standing in the back of the very crowded bus near the doors when two people got on the bus. one of the men was apparently a large man who was trying to push his way on to make room. police tell the examiner he kept pushing and pushing until the teen reacted by turning around, slapping him, and saying there is no more room. that is when he punched the girl. started strangling her and then the mother jumped in to try to stop it and she was punched too. while all this was going on, apparently the second man stole the mother's purse. both victims were treated. they will be okay. the search continues for the two men this morning. we only have the description of one man. the man who attacked the pair. he's described as a large man. possibly samoan. at the time of the attack he was wearing a black suite shirt and red and black headphones.

>> just so that he can get whatever he wants from the city. >> reporter: how do you think he was doing that? >> because he had connections. >> it's just really mind boggling to me that someone can say that because they are in a relationship with someone else that they paid me $50,000 because i wanted to retire. well i'm still here. i just got reelected. i have never taken a dime. >> councilman reid tells us he's hiring a lawyer and he is confident a full investigation will clear his name in the second case. time now 5:38. let's do to sal. there is a new problem in marin county. what is going on? >> it's the boulder problem. you heard 34e talking about it. southbound 101 coming down from the waldo grade. there is a boulder that came down in one of the lanes. at first they had the fire department there. now chp is there with cal tran.
